Project of interest
White Lea Farm
In 2006 I started visiting White Lea Farm near Easington on the Durham Heritage Coast. The area was once a major source of coal, but when the pits closed, both people and land were left in difficulty. The farm and surrounding coast are now owned and managed by the National Trust.

Today is not a good day to die
Really, I wasn’t meant to be there. So why was I there? Driving up the road this morning, bound for Newton by the Sea, I was thinking about old friends, friends who I had lost contact with and I was wondering what had become of them. Pulling off the A1, I felt an urge to go to elsewhere rather than Newton, something about the sky above my new intended area. A ripe sense of drama just waiting for me to commit to a vision. A dark brooding sky it is. But I didn’t have the experience I expected!

A day out at Horsley with the Art Tour 2009
It’s time for the Network Artists Art Tour again, and this year I’m exhibiting my work at the Hearth @ Horsley in Northumberland with one of the most diverse ranges of art forms you will find under one roof, with a great coffee shop and pub lunches!
